The spot has been long considered one of na­ tural beauty spots of Western Ontario but has been undevelop­ ed. The Ausable River Authority plans to buy it from private own­ ers and make it a public park. Local groups have begun im­ proving the spot and a Univer­ sity of Western Ontario profess­ or and park planning expert have pledged assistance. Potential Park The gorge is a geological curio known the work over and is po­ tentially a beautifull park, ac­ cording to Dr. Pleva, U.W.O. At present the gorge offers 'a hard and possibly dangerous climb to 'the bottom, Keen fishers and adventurous liolidayers and scientists make the climb and sometimes follow the half-mile gorge to the Ausable River, A scenic area at the head of the 30-foot waterfall is easily acces­ sible. The gorge is formed by Rock Glen (geek, a small creek empties into the Ausable It meanders quietly through and pastures until it is belt a mile from the river. Then it enters a small wooded area and suddenly plummets over a 30-foot rock precipice. From there to the river it crashes through a rockstrewn gorge in miniature falls and rapids. It drops 50 feet through the wood­ ed gorge in a half a mile.

It was suggested at a recent meeting that thority buy 10 acres Rock Glen as a start. The report calls, for acre park in the Ausable gorge" with Rock Glen as use area. iMany American learned about the Government tourist pamphlet have gone away disappointed at the lack of development, said C. V. Blatchford who lives by the gorge. "We would like to get started this summer,” Mr. Janes said. "I’ll do all in my power to get something done at Rock Glen." ikcinic Grounds Arkona Lions Club last year built picinic tables and benches in the small park at the head of the waterfall and sprayed poison ivy in the glen. This year they plan to lay out a ball diamond and hope sometime to put up swings and barbeque pits. They have asked Dr. Pleva to help plan a park there. He hopes to visit the glen within the next few weeks with G. A. Connor planning expert for the park area at Fanshawe. A small lake used for boating fishing and swimming was once formed on the Ausable River by a dam upstream from Rock Glen Creek. One end has been blasted from the dam to allow fish through. The Authority has re­ commended a dam be built in the area as a conservation mea­ sure.

BARRETT COMPANY, Saint John • Montreal • Toronto • Winnipeg • Vancouver SHAKE DESIGNS ★Reg’d Trade Mark Parents and friends who visit­ ed the new public school last week will realize now that all the praise we’ve expressed in this column was more than justi­ fied. As the large crowd viewed the convenience and comforts of the new school, one remark was repeated again and again—"My, I wish I had had this when I went to school—I wouldn’t been so anxious to quit!”. Of course, it could be teachers didn’t provide the vices then that they do now. One morning last week, Donald Cann appeared at Mrs. Turvey’s -desk, humped over in a very uncom­ fortable position. Twisting and twitching from side to side, he said, "Mrs. Turvey, there’s a spot on my back itchy and I can’t scratch it—will you?” Mrs. Turvey did, and Donald, smiling comfortably, returned to his seat.
